Tranq him on high ground or behind other creature because they will attack the creature you are behind first
Baryonyx
The Baryonyx is a large crocodile-like predator. While it might lack in attack power, its ability to swim extremtly fast makes it a fierce opponent — especially with its ability to travel on both land and in water.

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Baryonyx in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
To tame the Baryonyx, u need a trike level into health. Find a Baryonyx, spawns in swamps and rivers, get it agro on u, stay on your trike, and shoot at it with your crossbow or longneck.
Very fast, good weight and attack dmg, decent torpor and health
Stun ability in water
These Dino’s are very good for swamp scavenging, especially when in the water. - Ark Player
If you are exploring an underwater cave then these are you’re best mount because they can stun lock eels and other deep sea creatures.
Review of the Baryonyx:
The Barry is one of those underrated tames that is often shadowed by the Carno, and that’s just incorrect. The simple fact is that the Barry is considerably better than the Carno, It has a better Stamina regain; it can jump; it has a better weight…
Review of the Baryonyx:
The Barry is one of those underrated tames that is often shadowed by the Carno, and that’s just incorrect. The simple fact is that the Barry is considerably better than the Carno, It has a better Stamina regain; it can jump; it has a better weight stat and it can swim at a decent speed. Not only that, the Barry produces very little noise, especially compared to the Carnos loud stomping SFX, this allows the Barry to move around silently and largely unseen.
I got one near a river where I was planning to tame a spino but I saw the baryonyx and then decided to tame him since the spino was gone now I realized how worthy taming him was so If you decide to tame one go with your crossbow and atleast 10 tranc arrows and 20 fish meat and…

These guys are super fast, so put some upgrades to weight and speed
It's relatively small, has a decent hp and a good damage output for its size, it's fast in and out of water and you can shoot from his back. Ideal caving dino in my opinion.
Don’t fight in water whatever you do
Got attacked on my raft. A dodo was on it but still it tried to kill me. Il ran away while it was destroying the raft

These guys are great in caves. They destroy everything.
The Baryonyx is perfect for the Upper South Cave. Because of it's height, it can easily gnaw on every bat / critter that comes your way. You can use it to go all the way to the ruin room, and then either use the Baryonyx to swim through the water passages, or just grapple…

You can use it to go all the way to the ruin room, and then either use the Baryonyx to swim through the water passages, or just grapple through the gap in the wall (Check wiki for the gap location). Hope this helps!
For the Lava Cave:
Bary is better than wolf due to it’s jumping pattern being longer and more predicable
This is the best creature to tame for caves
Use a simple 2*1 trap with 1 high doorframes and a ramp to easily tame I tamed one with thatch as it focused on destroying the doorframe instead of trying to attack me but this only works with really low levels if medium use stone
It’s not hard to tame and can be tamed…

It’s not hard to tame and can be tamed easily at lvl 30
These can be found near swamp areas so lure it out and into trap FAR AWAY FROM SWAMP
Or it’ll be killed by twenty million sarcos and kapros
Tame using prime fish meat which can be obtained by killing megladons and harvesting with metal pick
Hope this helped you some way:)
Addition to my tip, I forgot to say that I play Mobile on Brutal difficulty that's why so many tranqs XD it slipped my mind. Dododex doesn't let you edit tips so had to make another. Sorry for confusion guys.

It says you can't carry it with an argy but it's not true I carried one with my argy
